Legendary island of Saint Lucia hosts 'The Bachelor' season finale

Wednesday February 24, 2010 – Last week, America tuned into "The Bachelor: On the Wings of Love" to watch Jake Pavelka and his final three bachelorettes be whisked away to the legendary island of Saint Lucia for their destination dates. Next week, the romance continues as Jake and his two remaining bachelorettes explore more of the lush island on the season finale of Season 14, a two-hour episode airing Monday, March 1 at 8 pm ET.

Awarded "World's Leading Honeymoon Destination" for the past several years by the World Travel Awards, Saint Lucia is the ideal setting for the season finale. It is now time for the bachelor to make his final choice by potentially proposing to one of the remaining two bachelorettes. Watch the two couples discover new romance by basking under the Caribbean sun, sailing into a champagne sunset, and cuddling beneath the starry sky.

"Saint Lucia is known for its natural beauty and diverse attractions, making it perfect for couples looking to honeymoon, get married or simply getaway," said Louis Lewis, Director of Tourism for Saint Lucia. "It gives Saint Lucians great joy to have a show about romance, love and happiness featured on our island."

Jake's Journey for Love

Arc De Ciel, a wonderful five-bedroom resort between the Pitons, is where the final two bachelorettes meet Jake's family. The Pitons, located in the picturesque southwest of the island, are the iconic symbol of Saint Lucia and one of the most recognizable landmarks in the Eastern Caribbean.

Jake and Tenley will sail the clear, warm waters of Saint Lucia's west coast on Kingdom Yachts, while taking in the white sand beaches lined with gently swaying palms and the dramatic volcanic topography. After their sail, they will spend a night in a stunning new luxury villa nestled within in the embrace of the island's World-Heritage listed Pitons at The Jalousie Plantation resort. Established on more than 100 acres of magnificent rainforest, The Jalousie Plantation is without question set in one of the most spectacular and romantic locations in the world - the Valley of the Pitons.

Jake and Vienna will also explore the Sulphur Springs, which is situated at one of the world's few drive-in volcanoes near the town of Soufrière. The couple will end the romantic date by checking into a suite at Anse Chastanet, a 600-acre estate with two beaches. Tropical weather, welcoming accommodations, and unexpected adventures await the couple taking this trip.

Who Will He Choose at Jade Mountain?

After the final dates, will Jake choose Tenley or Vienna? In this emotional special conclusion, Jake prepares to make one of the most difficult choices of his life. His search for love is now narrowed down to two very different women and he is falling in love with both of them. Jade Mountain is a luxury resort built on the side of a mountain, rising majestically above the beachfront resort of Anse Chastanet. This award-winning resort is a cornucopia of organic architecture, celebrating the island's stunning scenic beauty, and offers one of the world's most mesmerizing experiences. With the fourth wall entirely absent, Jade Mountain's sanctuaries are stage-like settings where one can embrace the full glory of Saint Lucia's Pitons, and of course, the Caribbean Sea.
